Have done so.

pcl-unprint now supports TIFF compressed PCL files (i.e. all
print-pcl printers higher than Deskjet 500), plus it now writes
colour PNM files for all 2-level CMY and CMYK printers. So
the only ones not supported yet are the Deskjet 800 series
(4 level) and, of course, any newer HP printers that aren't
supported by print-pcl!

This version has a quick hack. If you compile normally, it
will output a CMYK image normally. If you compile
with -DOUTPUT_CMYK_ONLY_K it will only output the K, and
similarly for -DOUTPUT_CMYK_ONLY_CMY. They will probably
become debugging options later!

For now, I just or'ed together the black and the CMY images.

PS If anyone knows anything about newer HP printers (ones that
take the Photo cartridge), I am interested in hearing from
them. I have started taking a passing interest in HP printers
that come up in our local auction house (reading the book
if there is one!).
